Nominees for Gamescom 2015 awards announced

With Gamescom 2015 taking place this coming weekend, it is therefore the time for the nominees for the Gamescom 2015 awards to be revealed. Makes sense!

Announced over on IGN, Star Wars Battlefront leads the nominations with four categories, followed by Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain,Final Fantasy XV and Anno 2205 with three each. There’s also a people’s choice category, titled the “Most Wanted Consumer” award, that you can vote for using the official Gamescom app on iOS and Google Play store.

The winners will be announced August 7 at Gamescom.

I’m a sucker for awards, I always have such strong opinions on what should or shouldn’t win. But I struggle with ones like these and E3’s as I am yet to play the games nominated given they all haven’t come out yet. How do I know what the best action game is if I haven’t played them?

That’s right, I’m the guy who watches all the “Best Picture” nominations before the Oscars…
